Thinking and discussion support devices, thinking and discussion support methods, service provision systems

Abstract

To provide a device and method that can provide an environment in which participants in a "space" for thinking and discussing can consider things from a wide variety of perspectives. [Solution] According to this embodiment, the map classifies fields related to society in the first direction, classifies the level of each field in the second direction (social domain in the Arctic direction), and classifies words related to individuals in the third direction (personal domain in the Antarctic direction). Multiple nodes with semantic content are placed in the social domain and the personal domain according to the words (attribute information) at their placement location.
